Edited to Add on Oct. 9th, 2014: Anne Vally has added one skein of the Anne's Story fingering weight yarn to the prize package!! So an additional $32 skein of Anne's Story included with the Luxe Kit!!! Thank you, Anne, for upping the ante!


Hi, Knitters,
I am here today with a fantastic giveaway for you! I am so excited to be part of the team that gets to promote and host a giveaway for the newest Little Skein kit, Green Gables. I was lucky enough to be in Maine with Paula Emons-Fuessle, the designer of the shawl Balsam Hollow for the Green Gables kit, on the day the kit debuted and was released for sales. The kits are still available for purchase now but the initial kits sold out in literally a couple of minutes! It was so exciting to witness when we were together in Maine. Paula and Anne are rock stars for sure.

Anne Vally, the creative force behind the ultra-successful Little Skein in the Big Wool brand sent the kit preview along with four sample shawls knit in the yarn color choices for the kit. The entire kit is breathtaking. Anne goes all out and that's why her kits are so incredibly special.

Here are some links for you to enjoy:

Paula Emons-Fuessle of the Knitting Pipeline podcast! She's the designer of the gorgeous shawl.



Little Skein in the Big Wool Etsy shop! You can purchase all of the kit pieces separately and together in different forms. If you are thinking of a knitting-related gift for the holiday season, any part of the kit would make a great gift.

Knitalong with Littleskein group on Ravelry! I'm a member ~ come join us.

It's hard to imagine the amount of work and thoughtfulness and love Anne pours into her kits. She is really something. So today I am giving away to one lucky blog reader the Luxe Kit! Thank you to Anne Vally for the generous giveaway opportunity.


Here is Anne Vally's description of the Luxe kit:

The LUXE Green Gables shawl kit features everything you need to make "Balsam Hollow," a new (and exclusive to Little Skein) shawl design from Paula Emons-Fuessle of the Knitting Pipeline and inspired by Anne of Green Gables, and to truly reminisce about the optimistic and enchanting Anne Shirley and her forever home on Prince Edward Island.

Your LUXE kit includes:

  • A PDF copy of Balsam Hollow, a beautiful new shawl design from Paula Emons-Fuessle (you will receive download instructions after placing your order)
  • Two 100g skeins of Leading Men Fiber Arts' Marquee yarn in the exclusive Green Gables palette colorway of your choice, which is ample yarn to knit either the standard size or the extended size of this beautiful shawl
  • A project bag in your choice of style: drawstring bag (suitable for 1 to 2 skein projects) or a larger zippered project bag (ideal for 2 to 3 skein projects)
  • A Canadian Girl stitch markers (with either the Anne master marker or Canadian Maple leaf)
  • Autumn Leaves impatient knitter tag
  • A surprise sweet treat and all of Little Skein's signature special packaging



The yarn for the kit is custom-dyed by Leading Men Fiber Arts.


There are four options plus an added variegated sock yarn (click here to see this one, I had to order my own it's so pretty!).  The colors are gorgeous and autumnal. I have the Green Gables color and I'm getting the Anne with an E color sent to me. I am going to cast on Paula's Balsam Hollow shawl very soon! It will be good retreat and travel knitting for me coming up.

Here is the description of the beautiful yarn from Anne Vally:

About your yarn:

Leading Men Fiber Arts' Callback base is a round and bouncy 3-ply superwash merino wool. It absorbs color beautifully and is rich, saturated, and glowing. This yarn is the perfect sportweight blend and creates a drapey yet warm fabric.
The palette of available colors evoke autumn on Prince Edward Island -- the luscious green leaves of Green Gables; the evergreens of Orchard Slope, the sloping area between Anne's home at Green Gables and Diana Barry's farm; spooky purples and dusky evening colors of the Haunted Wood; and of course, Anne's beautiful red hair.
Dyer: Leading Men Fiber Arts
Base: Callback sportweight
Colorways: Green Gables, Anne with an E, Orchard Slope, or The Haunted Wood
Fiber content: 100% superwash merino
Yardage: 328 yards per 100 grams
The Anne palette of colors is available exclusively from Little Skein in the Big Wool.




You get to choose between two bag options. Both are so beautifully handcrafted. The zipper bag is a little bigger and the drawstring bag (the one I have) is just right for a skein or two plus your project. Anne designs her own fabrics. The lining is as intriguing as the outer fabric. I think this is my favorite fabric design yet from Anne. The leaf motif with Anne of Green Gables outline in the big maple leaf is one of the best details ever. I LOVE this bag!

Here is Anne Vally's description of the bags:

About your project bag:

Prince Edward Island project bags are handcrafted from original fabrics, created by me, exclusively for the Green Gables kit.
The fabric features hand-painted watercolors from Polish artist Agnieska Swiejkowska and adapted by me to create a portrait of leaves and the natural world in beautiful autumnal colors, with a wistful silhouette of Anne Shirley. The exterior fabric has been digitally-printed for me on my favorite blend of cotton-linen fabric, which is wonderfully durable and has a slight nubbly rustic texture to it. For the zippered project bags, I've upsized the design to create a larger motif of Anne, and the drawstring bag's fabric is likewise sized to that particular design.
The interior fabric for Prince Edward Island is a warm autumn green, featuring some of my favorite quotes from this classic heroine, like secret and optimistic messages from Anne to you.
My drawstring bags have been sized for 1 to 2 skein projects, and my shawl-sized zipper bags are quite roomy and are sized to fit 2 to 3 skeins of yarn and your work in progress.

The Little Skein stitch markers have long been one of my favorites. They are so well-made and pretty. In the Luxe kit you win a set of markers and the choice of one of two charms. Here is Anne Vally's description of the stitch markers:
{ ABOUT YOUR STITCH MARKERS }
You'll receive a set of 8 stitch markers with a master marker of either the Anne silhouette or a Canadian maple leaf. Let me know in the notes section of your order if you have a preference; otherwise I'll surprise you!


Paula picked a leaf motif because trees play such a big role in the setting for Anne of Green Gables. It's perfect. The shawl is so simple, triangle shaped garter stitch with a simple leaf lace motif at the border. A first time lace knitter could knit this shawl. It is lovely. There are two sizes, the original and then one with an extended lace section. Great work, Paula! I love the way the shawl design ties in with the bag and stitch markers and yarn. 

Leslie Wind also contributed and designed the most beautiful shawl pin I have ever seen to go along with the kit. It is a simple leaf shape and it is effective and stunning. The leaf silhouette shawl pin is called Kindred Spirit. It is light as air and a real piece of art.

The shawl pin is NOT included in today's giveaway but you may want to order one to go with your gorgeous new shawl. I have one and I can't wait to wear it all together, and carry my bag while using my stitch markers and knitting my Anne's Story sock yarn...... while reading my new Anne of Green Gables book!




Anne's patterns are always beautifully photographed and have a clear and easy to follow layout. The pattern for the Balsam Hollow shawl has been tech edited and test knit. 

The other part of the Green Gables kit is the #annealong that is running from September 23 to December 21st! You'll want to join because it is so simple to enter and there will be fantastic prizes along the way with a big grand prize given at the end. Here are the Grand Prize details......

And: the grand prize is totally awesome, and it will be announced on December 22. 
At the end of the #annealong, on December 22, I’ll choose a grand prize winner who will receive the NEXT Little Skein kit which will be released in January and features a new (upcoming) shawl design from Susan B. Anderson and two skeins of Plucky Knitter yarn.

Yes, that's me! You get the chance to win my upcoming new kit with Little Skein!!! It is going to be spectacular and fun. And yes, the yarn is exclusively dyed for the kit by the Plucky Knitter.

Oh! Oh! Oh! This is the most generous giveaway! I've been haunting Anne's LiitleSkein shop since you first mentioned her last year (2 years ago?). My birthday and xmas lists have featured her shop but to no avail as yet. As a children's librarian and a newish knitter, I think Anne V and I are definitely kindred spirits. I'm saving my pennies to buy some of her beautiful creations, until then, here's hoping!

Oh my goodness! I can't beleive this kit. I fell in love with Anne on a trip to Prince Edward Island when I was about 10 and my mother bought me the book. Of course like a good little Canadian I had already seen the mini-series, but there is something magical about reading the book that started it all.

Tiffany said...

This kit is gorgeous! I checked out the links from your Knitting Pipeline retreate post and instantly fell in love with both the Green Gables and the Anne with an E colorways. Anne has been part of my life since I was a small child. I watched the mini-series over and over and over again - too many times to count. With all of these Anne projects going on, it made me realize how long it's been since I've watched them. That must be remedied soon - I think a lazy weekend day with the movies and my knitting sounds just perfect, especially with the cozy fall weather we're having. Would be excited to win the kit - thanks for the opportunity :) ~ Tiffany (bookchick29 on Ravelry)

Andrea said...

I read Anne of Green Gables throughout my pre-teen years. Every year for Christmas my grandparents would give me three paperback copies from the series, all the way through "Rilla of Ingleside," which is the last one (I think). I still have them, packed away for future daughters or granddaughters to enjoy. (My sons aren't interested.) I have to say, I smile every time I see an Anne-related knitting project. I feel like I was set up to be a knitter when I was 11 years old and I didn't even know it yet. Thanks.

After seeing the PBS episodes of Anne, I knew I had to visit Prince Edward Island. I still have so many memories of PEI.

What a beautiful kit - I would love to win!

For my connection to Anne -

When I was a young girl and bored out of my mind at my grandparents house, my grandmother slipped a copy of Anne of Green Gables to me to read. I flipped through it and immediately pronounced it "girly" and "boring" - no thanks, Grandma!

Fast forward a few years later, when, for some reason, I picked it up again and devoured it. I was beyond thrilled to learn there were even MORE Anne books, and read them as fast as I could.

To this day, I still re-read the entire series every couple of years (I'm 40 now!) and feel so indebted to my grandmother for her gentle encouragement to read this "girly" book!

The yarn, the pattern, and the bag - all are fabulous and inspirational. As if I need inspiration to knit!

I'll never forget when I first picked up Anne of Green Gables to read and immediately identified with its heroine and her adventures, trials and triumphs. I envied her living in that big farm house. I still remember reading about her aunt's dimming eyesight so that she had to give up sewing (I don't recall if she knit). As I've aged and found so much enjoyment in knitting, I've worried (as if worry ever changed anything) that the day would come that I'd have to put down the needles - thank god for advances in health care for eyes, eye glasses, etc.

Thank you to all for this wonderful giveaway. Lillian

The shawl, the bag, the yarn, the markers--it all reminds me of fall in the midwest and oh how I miss that. Since I've moved to the west coast, knitting just isn't the same. It's good, don't get me wrong, but it isn't the same. This would be the perfect bag and project to win and one I would love to knit and wear and share.

I will admit I've never read any of the books, but I just love the shawl and the project bags are just to die for! I love Fall and the changing of the leaves. I'd considering purchasing a kit just because of the bag! :)

Thanks for the opportunity!! :)

Oh, Anne of Green Gables just warms my heart every time I think of those books. I remember it as one of the first characters and series I really loved. Later I married into a family with ties to PEI, but haven't been yet - someday! Rav ID: caseympb

I love Anne of Green Gables. I just finished listening to the first 3 books for the #annealong. Love hearing about all the nature and listening now as an adult, I love how things never change through the ages. I received all of the anne books as a child and regardless of where I have lived they have always had a special place on my bookshelf.

I never read these books as a kid, and it is such a pity, since I identify with Anne so much. I finally borrowed a much-loved copy from my grandmother a few years ago and she'll probably never get it back. It really is a wonderful series.

What a great giveaway, thanks for hosting it. I love, love the whole kit, but my favorite part would be the stitch markers. I just lost my bag of all my knitting notions (so, so sad!) So I am in need of more stitch markers. Also I have been listening to Juniper Grace 's podcast and have loved hearing the book read as I knit. Thanks again! RavId: KatKing85

I have fond memories of reading Anne of Green Gables. I just discovered a new copy of it on my bookshelf and I have a strong desire to read it again. Thank you for sharing about the kit. It is simply wonderful.

Oh what gorgeous yarn!! 😍 I will admit that I am in that place of knitting for everyone but myself right now and I would be so excited to have something lovely to knit just for me.

I live in Nova Scotia, Canada and have been to the Anne of Green Gables a few times. The magic is so real. Between the book, the show and the property itself, Anne has been a wonderful friend and comfort to me when I felt low. She is so full of light and passion that it can't help but beam out to those around her. Thank you for the chance to win this wonderful kit! ❤️

Anne Shirley + knitting?!? Count me in. As a Maritimer, I of course grew up reading the Anne books. I was thrilled to see Megan Follows in a play in New Minas, NS, when I was older. She truly "did" Anne very well.

I love the kit. One of my favorite things to do in knitting is to have a complete kit and just take off knitting it. I would be honored to be able to work with this kit.

Kathy said...

I will confess that I have already ordered the kit, with the optional handle for the zipper bag but the other knitter-in-residence who is reading the Anne series with me has been known to purloin many a project bag. I would love to win a kit for her!

Thanks Susan!

Good gravy I know there is no chance I will win but I love the Green Gables color way and Anne has been a good literary friend for years. I will never forget the time we had a snow day in college and my roommates and I holed up and watched Megsn Fellows play Anne.

I remember watching the series when it came out and watched it all again with a roommate and then again with my adult niece.
